I am confused. The reference ranges in US are 6-24 typically for fasting INSULIN. Mine is 34, and we just had a poster post his at over 100!

I have never heard of a person with a borderline low A1C.
Were these tests done in the US?

Having a low or good AIC is a goal.
This is an A1C graph for example:
